Not a bad deal, but the MSI Spatium M482 2TB has been $86 many times before, and it out performs this 990 EVO.

Backordered already. Stock won't replinish until 2/25. Bait and switch? Worthless deal.

DRAM helps with sustained reads/writes and reduces memory cell wear, which is useful in some productivity workloads like video editing. For general PC use and gaming, DRAM makes no noticeable difference. If anything, DRAM drives get much hotter.

Advantages of DRAM in SSDs:
Faster Performance: DRAM significantly improves random read and write speeds, making the drive feel snappier. This is especially beneficial for tasks like booting up the operating system, launching applications, and multitasking

Better Data Management: DRAM stores mapping tables that track the location of data on the SSD, allowing for quicker access. Without DRAM, these tables are stored in slower NAND flash memory, which can slow down performance

Increased Longevity: Using DRAM reduces wear and tear on the NAND flash memory, as it takes on the task of frequently accessed data. This can lead to a longer lifespan for the SSD

Consistent Performance: DRAM helps maintain consistent speeds during prolonged and intensive use, preventing performance degradation over time.

Was gonna post about the MSI too. I've been waiting for another deal to pop up for it. In no rush so I'll just wait.

Last year, it seemed to go on sale on MSI's web store every couple of months. Happy hunting!!!
